xstream

Per XStream's FAQ its default parser does not preserve UTF-8 document encoding, and one must provide their own encoder. How does one do this? Thanks! Create a Writer with UTF-8 encoding. Pass the Writer as an argument to XStream's toXML method. XStream xstream = new xStream(); ByteArrayOutputStream outputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); Writer writer = new OutputStreamWriter(outputStream, "UTF-8"); xStream.toXML(object, writer); String xml = outputStream.toString("UTF-8"); You may also use that Writer to include the XML Declaration. writer.write("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\" ?

I'm trying to use xstream 1.4.2 to convert xml to object. It does work perfectly fine for me until I put the object's class file in a separate package than where the main code runs. Then I get a CannotResolveClassException. I've tried using the setClassLoader method as recommended by others but that doesn't help. Exception in thread "main" com.thoughtworks.xstream.mapper.CannotResolveClassException: result at com.thoughtworks.xstream.mapper.DefaultMapper.realClass(DefaultMapper.java:56) at com.thoughtworks.xstream.mapper.MapperWrapper.realClass(MapperWrapper.java:30) at com.thoughtworks

I want to be able to alias the root list element depending upon what type of objects are contained in the list. For example, this is my current output: <list> <coin>Gold</coin> <coin>Silver</coin> <coin>Bronze</coin> </list> And this is what I want it to look like: <coins> <coin>Gold</coin> <coin>Silver</coin> <coin>Bronze</coin> </coins> I can do this at a global level by saying all lists should be aliased to coins, but I have a lot of different lists and this won't work. Any ideas on how to do this? Seems like it should be simple, but of course, it isn't. EDIT: I should specify, I am trying

How to convert List of Object to XML doc using XStream ? and how to deserialize it back ? This is my xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <persons> <person> <fullname>Guilherme</fullname> <age>10</age> <address>address,address,address,address,</address> </person> <person> <fullname>Guilherme</fullname> <age>10</age> <address>address,address,address,address,</address> </person> </persons> Person bean contains 3 fields how to convert back it to Bean List using custom converters ? dogbane You don't necessarily need a CustomConverter. You need a class to hold your list: public class

I would like to serialize an object to an XML of this form with XStream. <node att="value">text</node> The value of the node ( text ) is a field on the serialized object, as well as the att attribute. Is this possible without writing a converter for this object? Thanks! write a convertor, it should be something similar to the code snippet class FieldDtoConvertor implements Converter { @SuppressWarnings("unchecked") public boolean canConvert(final Class clazz) { return clazz.equals(FieldDto.class); } public void marshal(final Object value, final HierarchicalStreamWriter writer, final

I used XStream many years ago, but I see that the libraries is not updated since 2008 ( latest news ). Is there now a more modern and up to dates Java XML serialization library? haylem In order of preference, relevancy and activity: JAXB Visit the JAXB project's site to check out the tutorial and guide . Have also a look at the original JAXB architecture whitepaper . The JAXB projet listed above is the reference implementation of the API, and is packaged in by the GlassFish Application Server.

I'm using Java and XStream to parse a google geocode request over http. My idea is to have an Address class with all the geocode attr's (ie. lat/long, city, provice/state etc) but I'm having problems parsing the xml with xstream. The google response is similar to this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <kml xmlns="http://earth.google.com/kml/2.0"><Response> <name>98 St. Patrick St, Toronto</name> <Status> <code>200</code> <request>geocode</request> </Status> <Placemark id="p1"> <address>98 St Patrick St, Toronto, ON, Canada</address> <AddressDetails Accuracy="8" xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc

I want to format the output XML generated by Xstream, to make it more readable. Currently, a newline is added after each element but I would like newline to be added after every attribute. Is there a way to do this? Pretty Print Writer is used by default to format the output of the xml but this doesn't suffice for me. I want newline to be added after every XStream includes a PrettyPrintWriter After building your XStream... XStream xstream = //...whatever Instead of: // p is my object needing xml serialization xstream.toXML(p) Use something like this to make it pretty: BufferedOutputStream

city package xstream; public class City { private String name; private String description; public String getName() { return name; } public void setName(String name) { this.name = name; } public String getDescription() { return description; } public void setDescription(String description) { this.description = description; } public City(String name, String description) { this.name = name; this.description = description; } } province package xstream; import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.List; public class Province { private String name; private List<City> cities = new ArrayList<City>();
